6) I was wondering about the RFP you have posted for fire fighter training and certification. Are you aware that one company cannot do both based on the certification boards rules. I have bid on these programs before and lost to a single company that included in their proposal that they would do the training and then provide the certification testing. I asked the NFPA about doing this and they said I could not provide both the training and then offer the certification exams, that this would be a conflict.

Having said this, will you allow a company to bid on one part of the process only, like bidding on providing the certification exams?

Answer: Award will be made to one contractor. Prime Contractors may subcontract the training or certification testing portion. Contractors will provide their subcontracting plan in their submission.
